The Monster OF SkifY Lake.

Woodstock New Brunswick) Press:
The famous land-locked sca-serpent
which has long been said to inhabit
the depths of Skif Lake was seen last
week by at least three reputable eye
witnesses disporting itself on the bosom
Of the lake. According to one Of the
witnesses the serpent appeared to be
about thirty feet in length. At times
he lay on the surface, and then again
he would slough through the water at
a frightful rate of speed, flashing the
water into foam with his head and tail.
His course lay Off McMullins Landing
toward Northcote Island, distance Of
three miles, during which he was
plainly visible to the men on the hill
overlooking the lake. They watched
his movements with the keenest curl
osity until an intervening island cut
him out of their sight. This is at
least the third appearance of this singu-
lar reptile. On former occasion it
was seen by respectable farmer,
James McMullen, and his wife, who
reside by the side of the lake, and who
had been making visit by water to a
neighbor at the upper end of the lake.
Mr.. McMullen rowed over it, when il
lifted its head and part Of its body in q
menacing manner. Whatever it may be
the existence Of such a reptile in Skif
Lake can no longer be denied

Father O Halloran had telephone

with the church, the parochial school,
etc. Patrick Melee. his reverence's
handy man, was instructed in the use
of the instrument, and it was only the
next day when Pat, busting out the
church. heard the chatter Of the tele-
phone bell. Taking down the receiver. he
was pleased to hear Father O Halloran's
familiar voice asking him some
thing or other about his work. Pat,
in cssaying to answer, remembered that
his reverence was long way off, and
Pat consequently followed into the
transmitter at the top of his voice. Il
don't understand you. Patrick" said
the telephone. Pat tried again, with no
better success. On his third trial he came
near splitting the telephone; but again
came near Father O Halloran'svoice. ~

Pat had by this time lost something of
his patience, and as he stood gathering
breath for a fourth blast he couldn't
refrain from soliloquizing in low
tone. "Ah! may the Devil fly away
wild the ould fool" But Pat dropped
the telephone like hot potato and fell
on his knees in dismay when he heard
Father O'Halloran's voice once again,

Queer things happen in this pardon
business. Historian l.. b. b. Proctor.
author of ..Bench and Bar" and several
other standard works, was telling me
the other day Of a peculiar pardon case
under Gov. Seward. Mr.. Proctor was
a student in Gov. Stewards law Office
in Auburn when Judge Samuel Batch
ford was partner Of Seward. A man
and his wife had been convicted Of 4
crime and both were sent to State pri-
son. He was sent to Auburn, and she
was serving term in Sing Sing.
Sympathy had been aroused for the
woman and petition signed by many
influential names was presented to Gov.
Seward for her pardon. After mature
consideration he decided to grant II.
and on his way to New York one day
stopped at Sing Sing and delivered the
pardon papers himself-an unusual
thing. The woman's name was Fran
ces and her husbands name was Fran
els. She was handed the pardon and
walked out. Seeing that the masculine
form ..Francis," appeared in the par.
don, she took train at once for An-
burn and presented the pardon to the
Warden, with the statement that she
had just been pardoned by Gov. Seward
and been allowed to bring her hus'
bands pardon in person. The War
den looked at it. 1t called for the re-
lease of the man, and he was brought
out, handed the pardon, and allowed te
90 free. When Gov. Seward fount
out the mistake he thought it better t.
say nothing about it, and the prisoner
was never returned.-Altany Letter.

The account of Capt. Smith seems
all right except as TO the distance that
they got to their front, and the firing
of the first volley from their own men

seem by his account to have been longer

is precisely as saw it, but as before
stated l did not see or hear any more
firing from in my front. Smith says
another was soon after fired from the
north side of the road by the right COM
pany Of Pcnder's North Carolina)
Brigade, which is no doubt, correct.
He saws nothing about the musketry
firing from the Union lines, but in the
excitement which must have followed
it might not have been noticed, they
being too far away to do much damage.
He gives a very vivid account OF the
artillery firing from our side which
opened on them, and in reading his
| story can almost see and hear it again.
j In the account of Comrade Nutter
cannot see anything to make me think
/ that he knows very much about what
he writes: and if their lines were where
he locates them, with pickets no further
to the front than described, am very
certain he does not. He says: ''Our
| artillery sent few shot and shell over
our Ttheirl heads" which may be corr
rect as to their heads. for there were
| but few, if any, guns near the plank
on the north side Of the road,
| i suppose on account OF the
| woods; bat il Comrade Nutter had been
near the plank farther to the front. or
the south side Of it, think he would
have thought that they were more than
few. AS to the conversations he tells
about, there was no time after the first
1volley when such conversations could
have taken place and been heard IL
yards away untilafter our artillery firing
ceased, when all became as quiet as
before and almost rs suddenly as the

Nor stalk nor stem her progress stops.

ENGLISH is GOOD ENOUGH.
st. Louis Voters Decide, by 1000 Majority,
Against Teaching German in the Schools.

ST. Louis, Nov. 22--An election for a new
public school board was held here to-day, and
resulted in a sweeping victory for the citizens'
ticket. Twenty-one members of the board were
vo;sd for fourteen from districts and seven
from the city at large. OF the district members,
the citizens elected ten and the Republicans
four. OF the candidates at large, the citizens
made a clean sweep. The issue in the election
was, shall the German language. and other orna-
mental branches of study, be taught in the pri-
mary and grammar schoolsa A good deal of
interest was taken in the election, and an un-
usually large vote was polled for a special con-
test. The Democrats did not put candidates in
the field, but practically indorsed the citizens
ticket at large, which composed of three
Democrats. three Republicans and one repre-
sentative of the Labor element 1t received a
majority or about 1000.

THE THGBE-CARLIsLE CONTEST.

The Ex-speaker's Opponents Claim They
VIII BE Able to Garry Their Point.
Washington Special in Cincinnati Enquirer.
The gentlemen who are conducting the Thoebs
contest against Mr.. Carlisle exhibit intention
to at least make an embarrassing noise wheth.
er they can effect anything greater or not. Al
heretofore stated the testimony offered on behalf
of Mr.. Thoebe and the statement OF counsel have
been printed. and present utterly frivolous
case, which justifes Mr. Carlisle in taking no
notice of the matter whatever. Mr. Thabe's
friends, however, announce ths intention to
spring a mine about the time the case comes
before the committee elections They profess
to have programme, which, if carried out az
they intend to carry it, will rout Mr.. Carlisle
horse. foot and dragons, and they exult over
Mr. Carlsle's complete ignorance OF their IN.
tended procedure.
The story has been told to number of per-
under the seal of secrecy and has been de-
,ivered In the Enquirer Office two three times
1t is proposed to attack Mr.. Carlisle. hip and
thigh, on charges of systematic fraud practiced
after the alleged discovery that the honest re.
turns left the Speaker without majority. In
saying this much the ENQUIRER violates no con-
fidence. In fact, the whole serret is rapidly be-
coming public property. and Mr.. Carlisle being
something of a lawyer himself and appr@ciAung
the wise lawyers rule to study the enemys side
OF we'll as his own, probably knows as
much about what Is gong to be done on the side
of the contestant as MIR. ThGbe's own lawyers do
If he does not and Mr.. Thobe's counsel can
prove what they say they can, then Mr.. Carlisle
must have a hard time TO stay in the House.
Mr. J. Hale Sypher is the principal counsel
for Mr. Thoebe, but will not divulRe the names
OF four other lawyers said to be associated with
him--two of them residing in Mr.. Carlislsis dis
trict.
1t may be that the Thoebe party is making
these mysterious threats and proclaminR rather
violently their purpose to overthrow Mr.. Carlisle
at the most conspicuous moment with the
pec;aton that they will get into print, and with
the hope that there will be enough agitation of
the subiecr to place stumbling blocks in Mr.
Carlsles way back TO the Speakers chair. Is
would be glory enough for some people to bs
able just to poster a man of the Carlisle caliber.
The contest if indeed it is TO be fought to q
finish, say In professional circles, is not
much get ThRbe in to get Carlisle out
Not much account is taken of the contestant He
is referred TO good mechanic and a respect
able gentleman, but not as man likely to hre
the dome of the Capitol and topple Crawford's
statue OF Freedom TO the rotunda. The ques-
ton simply is ..Anythng to beat Carlisle.'
